I share this because my friend is a teacher and my cousin is a Prfessor at a college so I truly am so sorry if I hurt anyones feelings by posting anything I was Not allowed to post Thank You all have a super fantastic Day So Sorry Ana

Leeana, whenever you get these emails - no matter who they came from - all you have to do is go to one of the fact-checking websites and check it out before you post it or forward it to someone else. As Ana and MaG said, they very often contain misleading and sometimes completely false information. www.snopes.com and www.mythbusters.com are good websites, but there are several others out there too. www.Factcheck.org is a good one for political hoax emails.

The first thing I do with these type things is check it out and 99.9% of the time, it is false. The good thing is, as I get older, I'm getting more reruns so I don't even have to check 'em, just trash them.

Again I honestly apologize .... They were, "Not" some things I took off the computer or meant to "Mis-Lead" anyone .... Here and as far as False In formation ...again I did not intend to cause anyone to be angered by what I posted here Drac....It was what, "I" thought was some if a little Good news but I guess not Thanks L4L for mentioning that they are, "Good Sites" Because Im not after all these years being a Boomie here to Hurt - Damage - or Do Harm to anyone..... If That was the case I would want to hurt "MYself" instead of all of my Friends here ..... I do however Promise you one thing I do not plan to do that again thats my word of Honor ..... Thank You all For Your Understanding and again I do Apologize for anyone getting Hurt - harmed or Upset - discusted with me the Post such as this one will never happen again...My Sincerest apology

Leeana, L4L was saying that the websites that Drac posted were good websites.

No one here was angry or upset, but the main priority here is for the good of the readers and members and as such, it must be pointed out that 99% of these so called tips that are circulated are full of erroneous information.

Oh, my goodness, no one was upset or angry, Leeana! I was just passing along a couple of the better websites to fact check these things before you pass them along or post them - I have them all in my Bookmarks or Favorites. It was just information and nothing else! Like Ana says, about 99.9% of the time these things are full of erroneous information and it's good to double check them first rather than assume they are truthful.

I'm like you, l4l - I've been around for so long that I'm starting to see these things over and over and sometimes I actually even remember that I've seen them before and can trash them!
